"We have SharePoint, but it looks like 2005." We fix that.
A blank team site is not an intranet. We design a branded, modern intranet your people actually open in the morning — news, navigation, documents in one place — and we migrate everything from file servers, Google Drive or Dropbox without losing a file or a workday. All on the Microsoft 365 licenses you already pay for.
An intranet people use, and a migration nobody notices.
Three outcomes, one project: a home page worth opening, documents that behave, and every old file exactly where it should be.
Modern branded intranet
A company home in SharePoint that looks like your company, not a template.
- Communication sites with your colors & logo
- Hub navigation that mirrors how you work
- News, events & announcements in one feed
- Company branding consistent on every site
Document management done right
Libraries that end the folder maze — and the "final_v7" era with it.
- Document libraries structured by how teams work
- Metadata & views instead of ten-deep folders
- Versioning that keeps one source of truth
- Permissions baseline set once, on groups
Migration without the mess
File server, Google Drive, Dropbox or SharePoint on-prem → SharePoint Online.
- Full inventory & mapping before anything moves
- Cleanup & restructure during the move, not after
- Permissions remapped to Microsoft 365 groups
- Zero-downtime cutover with a final delta sync
How we build the intranet — and move you into it
Out-of-the-box first. Custom code only where it earns its keep.
Modern SharePoint is genuinely good now — communication sites, flexible sections, news rollups, events and people web parts cover most of what an intranet needs. We start there, because out-of-the-box means faster launch, lower cost and zero maintenance when Microsoft updates the platform.
When there is a real gap — a bespoke dashboard, a directory with your quirks, an integration Microsoft doesn't ship — we build SPFx custom web parts that survive updates. Then we brand the whole thing with your colors and logo, make it mobile-ready by default, and surface it inside Microsoft Teams through Viva Connections so the intranet lives where your people already work.
- Out-of-the-box web parts first; SPFx only when needed
- Branding with your colors, logo & typography
- Mobile-ready pages, no separate app to maintain
- Viva Connections: your intranet inside Teams
Intranet building blocks
One library architecture. One current version. Zero guessing.
Most "SharePoint problems" are really document management problems: libraries copied from a 2009 file server, folders twelve levels deep, and six copies of the same proposal. We design library architecture from scratch — which libraries exist, what lives in each, and which metadata replaces which folders — so structure matches how your teams actually work.
On top of that we configure content types for your key documents, approval and check-out where control matters, and records handling where regulation demands it. The result: every document has one home, one current version, and a history you can trust.
- Library architecture mapped to teams & processes
- Content types for contracts, policies & project docs
- Approval flows & check-out where control matters
- Records & retention for the documents auditors ask about
Before → after
Planned like an engineering project. Because it is one.
A migration is not "copy the files over." It starts with a full inventory: every share, folder, owner, permission and last-modified date, mapped to its destination in the new structure. Dead content gets archived, duplicates get resolved, and the mess you have today does not get faithfully reproduced in the cloud.
We run the bulk move with ShareGate and Microsoft's native migration tooling, remap permissions onto Microsoft 365 groups, then schedule a cutover weekend: a final delta sync catches everything changed since the bulk copy, sources go read-only, and Monday morning your team opens SharePoint with everything in place. User comms are part of the plan — everyone knows what moves, when, and where to find it after.
- Inventory & mapping of every share and owner
- ShareGate + Microsoft migration tooling
- Permission remapping onto Microsoft 365 groups
- Delta sync & cutover weekend — zero downtime
- User comms: what moves, when, where it lands
Migration checklist
From first call to launch day
Free audit call
30 minutes on your current setup, what's moving and what the intranet needs to do. No obligation.
Design & architecture
Site map, hub structure, library architecture and a migration mapping — reviewed with you before anything is built.
Build & brand
Communication sites, navigation, news and web parts assembled and branded with your colors and logo.
Migrate & validate
Bulk copy, permission remap, delta sync and a cutover weekend — with validation checks before anyone is switched over.
Launch, train & adopt
Go-live comms, role-based training for users and site owners, and champions coached so adoption sticks.
Intranets launched, files moved, nothing lost
1.2 million files off a dying file server in four weeks.
Problem: A 12-year-old on-prem file server was out of space and out of warranty, with 1.2M files, 15 years of duplicates and permissions nobody could explain.
We did: Full inventory and mapping, archived 40% as dead content, migrated the rest with ShareGate into a new library architecture, remapped permissions to groups and cut over on a weekend with a final delta sync.
A branded intranet that passed the records audit.
Problem: The firm's "intranet" was a bare SharePoint 2013 team site nobody opened, while client files lived in folders with no versioning — a problem their records compliance review flagged.
We did: Designed a branded communication-site intranet with matter-based navigation, rebuilt document libraries with content types and versioning, and applied retention labels that satisfied the records requirements.
Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 without losing a grant file.
Problem: The organization got Microsoft 365 through nonprofit licensing but everything — grants, board docs, program files — lived in Google Drive with tangled sharing and no structure.
We did: Mapped every shared drive to a SharePoint destination, migrated with ownership and sharing remapped to Microsoft 365 groups, built a simple branded intranet home, and trained staff in two live sessions.
Different industries. Same "where do I find that?" intranet.
The content changes — SOPs, policies, matter files, spec sheets — but the project is the same: a branded home your people actually open, and a migration that moves years of files without losing a workday. Here's how it lands in the sectors we work with most.
Plant SOPs, safety notices and shift news on one intranet home — with 15 years of file-server history migrated without stopping a line.
Versioned policy and procedure libraries, announcements that reach every clinic, and migrations that respect patient-data boundaries.
Client and engagement sites behind a branded home page, with legacy archives migrated into a structure new joiners get on day one.
Project sites for drawings and submittals, mobile-ready for the field, with old project shares migrated job by job.
Google Drive or file-server content moved onto nonprofit-licensed Microsoft 365, with a simple branded intranet staff and volunteers actually use.
Store communications, HR policies and training materials on one intranet — reachable from front-of-house, not just head office.
The Microsoft stack we work in every day
Intranet and migration projects run on the platform you already own — plus the migration tooling that makes big moves fast, safe and reversible.
